Match Preview

On-loan defender misses out for Dons
Nikola Vujadinovic will miss Aberdeen's first Clydesdale Bank Premier League game of 2011 against Dundee United due to a hamstring injury.
The on-loan Udinese defender sustained the problem during Wednesday's win at Hamilton and is expected to be out for several games.
Darren Mackie and Fraser Fyvie remain on the sidelines with long-term knee injuries.
Craig Brown attempted to play down expectations ahead of his first home match in charge after leading the team to successive away wins.
A big New year's Day crowd is expected at Pittodrie for the derby following away wins against Hibernian and Hamilton.
Brown has already secured more points in two games in charge than the club managed in their previous 14 matches, but he was eager to stress he and assistant Archie Knox had not transformed the team.
"We want to put a lid on the expectation a bit," the former Motherwell manager said.
"Not to say we're lacking in confidence but we don't want to get carried away. We have won two games, that's all.
"In all honesty we were fortunate to get the winner at the end of the Hamilton game. I think we deserved it at Easter Road.
"The determination was excellent and in fact Hamilton were time-wasting at home to hold on to a draw, we felt the goalkeeper was taking an age to take his goal-kicks.
"I think we deserved a goal although we didn't play particularly well.
"So I would like fans to understand that we don't all of a sudden think we are a great team because we've got six points from two games.
"There's a lot improvement required so if they can be understanding, patient and supportive that's all we ask.
"Every player will give his all, that's all we can guarantee."
Danny Swanson is suspended for Dundee United.
Midfielder Swanson came on as a substitute before being sent off for two bookable offences as United let slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Hibernian on Wednesday night.
Defender Garry Kenneth is available following a ban, meaning Jon Daly can revert back to being a striker, while Craig Conway (knee), Scott Severin (foot), Mihael Kovacevic (knee) and Darren Dods (knee) remain out.
Manager Peter Houston watched the Dons win 2-1 at Hibs on Boxing Day in Craig Brown's first match in charge.
Since the appointment of Brown and his assistant Archie Knox, the Dons have now won two games out of two, defeating Hamilton 1-0 on Wednesday, something which has not surprised Houston.
He added: "They've got the reaction I expected them to get. Craig and Archie are experienced, know the game inside out.
"They'll have given the players a lift and tried to put confidence into them. I think it's proved over the two games."
United have played fewer games than anyone else in the top flight due to the snow and ice which hit the fixture schedule.
Houston added: "To only have played 15 games after this length of time is rather strange.
"Tomorrow will be our third away game on the trot and if we win tomorrow and we can say we took five points out of nine and the games included Hibs away and Celtic away I'd be more than happy with that.
"We've got to go to Aberdeen and try to win the match - it's going to be very difficult.
"They're on the up but I have real confidence in my players and I expect them to do well."

Match Report

No goodwill from David
David Goodwillie scored deep into injury time to earn Dundee United a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen in an entertaining New Firm derby at Pittodrie.
Craig Brown's dream start as Aberdeen manager looked set to continue when a lapse in concentration from Keith Watson gifted the Dons the opener.
Chris Maguire raced on to the full-back's short back-pass before rounding Dusan Pernis and slotting home after 37 minutes.
The Dons dominated the second period but could not find a second goal to kill off a below-par United and Goodwillie popped up in the fifth minute of added on time to volley past Jamie Langfield and earn his side a share of the spoils.
Full-back David McNamee was handed his Dons debut in place of Nikola Vujadinovic, who picked up an injury in the 1-0 win over Hamilton Accies on Wednesday.
Winger Sone Aluko and youngster Ryan Jack also started with Derek Young and Josh Magennis dropping to the bench.
United, without the suspended Danny Swanson following his red card in their 2-2 draw with Hibernian, made only one change with Garry Kenneth taking his place at the heart of defence after returning from a ban.
Jamie Langfield prevented Aberdeen conceding an early goal when he pulled off an instinctive stop to keep out Goodwillie's close-range volley after four minutes.
The game continued at a frantic pace with Aberdeen surging up the other end, spearheaded by Aluko but the Nigeria international delayed his pass to Maguire after an enterprising run allowing Sean Dillon to make a vital block.
Dillon picked up the first caution of the game after 18 minutes when he brought down Maguire as he raced down the right flank before Morgaro Gomis joined him in the book for a late challenge on Jack.
Scott Vernon, who bagged his eighth goal of the season with a late winner against Accies midweek, had a chance to break the deadlock but the former Colchester striker headed over from a Paul Hartley free-kick.
United created the next opening after 31 minutes when Goodwillie managed to out-muscle Zander Diamond and crossed for the inrushing Prince Buaben but the Ghanaian could not divert his downward header past Langfield.
The visitors had been enjoying a period of dominance but it was Aberdeen who opened the scoring after 37 minutes courtesy of a careless error by Watson.
The right-back's pass was woefully short and Maguire immediately latched on to the loose ball and rounded Pernis before passing the ball into the unguarded net.
United made an attack-minded switch at the break with striker Daly introduced at the expense of Senegalese midfielder Gomis.
But it was the Dons who continued to press for a second with an appeal for a penalty waved away after Maguire fell in the box under pressure from Paul Dixon before Vernon flashed a low shot wide of the target.
The Dons had United pinned back in their own half and were creating the better of the chances but were forced to make a change after 66 minutes when Yoann Folly was stretchered off with a serious-looking injury following a challenge from Dixon and was replaced by Young.
With 15 minutes remaining both sides made changes with Josh Magennis replacing Jack for the Dons, while United introduced David Robertson and Stuart Armstrong for Scott Robertson and Barry Douglas.
McNamee's solid debut came to a premature end as he limped off with cramp and was substituted for Jerel Ifil.
The home side's relentless pursuit of a second continued with Maguire unlucky to see his well-struck shot blocked by Dillon.
And the Dons paid the price for their profligacy when, in the fifth of six minutes of injury time, Dillon's cross into the box was headed down by David Robertson for Goodwillie who volleyed the ball past Langfield and silence the home support.
